A rather boring honk, but it should be loud and clear.

It should work with key on or off....

85RedSled OBX headers

I checked the archives for any info on the Chinese made OBX headers for the C4 and found only one thread where the reviews werent exactly first hand or model specific. Has anyone had any experience with these stainless steel headers on the C4? I had some EM headers that were great but the OBX's are minimum $200 cheaper and are stainless instead of coated. Features look good if the quality is there. Hedman Elites would be another choice in the $500 bracket.

Any input would be appreciated!

They are a Chinese copy of Stainless Works headers. But for the price I think you should buy them and let us know how well they go on.

If anyone wants to pitch in I'd swap out my cheapy hedmans to see how these fit. If I hadn't just done the motor I would have had the coin to do it.

I emailed them a few questions a month ago on their headers. I have yet to hear back.

I saw that, they were talking about the welds being good quality, etc. Looks like a solution for reasonably priced headers, finally.

a couple of guys have put them on their zr1s and like them and at half the price of stainless works, to me the only way to go .i bought a set of stainless works headers for my 92 zr1 and they said they would connect right up to the corsa exhaust i had onto the car. the left ball connectorof the cat was too big for the corsa and the right had 3 cheesey pieces you had to play with like a jig saw puzzle turning this way and that. and then they leaked . i am sorry for my rant about them but paying 1200 for the headers and cats to have them fit like that just wasn't right
